MX Sports Pro Racing Announces 2010 Women’s Motocross Class National Numbers
Courtesy of MX Sports
MORGANTOWN, W.V. - Just under two months removed from the conclusion of the 2009 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship, MX Sports Pro Racing has already turned its attention towards 2010, making a number of improvements in the program.
One of the first things to get a make-over is how WMX racers earn and score a prestigious national number. The new WMX national number selection process will assign national numbers based on final point standings from the previous season, rather than allowing riders to randomly choose their numbers, which was the case in 2009 and prior.
The new rule is stated as follows:
Riders participating in the 2009 WMX race season will be assigned numbers based on final championship standings. Riders not participating in the 2009 WMX race season may request numbers. Numbers 100-119 are reserved for visiting international riders.
"MX Sports is excited to help continue growing the Women's Motocross Class," said Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Director Jeff Canfield. "By changing the national number process to an assignment-based system rather than selection, we hope to make it easier for everyone, especially the fans, to identify the riders."
Below are the final standings from the 2009 Women's Motocross Class of the Lucas Oil Motocross Championship and the coordinating assigned national numbers for the 2010 season:
Position Name 2009 Points 2010 National Number
In addition, MX Sports has announced that 250cc two-stroke motorcycles will be eligible for competition in the WMX Class for the 2010 season. The class engine displacement will be 122-250cc.

MotoConcepts Racing Signs Dan Reardon and Ryan Sipes for 2010
Spokane, Wash. (October 29, 2009) – MotoConcepts Racing is excited to announce the signing of former Australian Champion Daniel Reardon and former Factory KTM rider Ryan Sipes. Both of these riders join MotoConcepts Racing for the 2010 AMA Supercross/Motocross race series.
Reardon is currently in Australia participating in the 2009 Super X Series. He will complete the series before joining the team in early December to begin testing and training on his new Yamaha YZ450F which he will be riding during 2010. Reardon has proven he has the speed to run up front. Before suffering injuries this summer, he was a consistent top five threat as he secured sixth overall at both Hangtown and Freestone. Recently at the 2009 US Open in Las Vegas, Reardon also showed his talent on a tight Supercross track taking third overall.
Sipes has settled into California where he begins testing and training on his YZ250F. The Kentucky native battled through injuries in 2009 before returning to the last few rounds of the Lucas Oil AMA Outdoor Nationals where he proved again, why he was one of the top riders. In only four rounds, Sipes compiled enough points to finish 21st overall and finished the year off with an impressive fourth overall at Steel City.
“This is an exciting time for MotoConcepts Racing,” stated Team Owner Mike Genova. “We have added two excellent riders to our team and they help complete a 2010 squad that will represent our sponsors very well and be extremely competitive on the track. With the support we receive from Yamaha and the talent of our riders, we look forward to great race results,” continued Genova.
Team Manager Steve Lamson had similar feelings regarding the 2010 MotoConcepts Race Team. “We have put together a great looking 2010 team that has a lot of talent and experience,” stated the former 2-time Champion Lamson. “The new Yamaha bikes are really strong and the opportunity for a high level of success is very motivating as we prepare for Anaheim one.”
Reardon and Sipes join Jeff Alessi (250 W), Vince Friese (250 E), and Matt Goerke (450) as the 2010 members of MotoConcepts Racing. The team is still actively looking to add another rider, stay tuned for more information.

Monster Energy Supercross Goes Pink for Anaheim 3 Race to Promote Breast Cancer Awareness Monster Energy Supercross Partners Up With Komen For The Cure To Fight Breast Cancer
Courtesy of Feld Entertainment
AURORA, Ill. (October 28, 2009) - Feld Motor SportsSM announced today Monster Energy® Supercross, an FIM World Championship, will partner with Komen For The Cure to host the first-ever breast cancer awareness race at Anaheim's Angel Stadium Saturday, February 13. Contributions will go to the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure 60-mile walk.
Monster Energy® Supercross will undergo a "pink" theme during its stop at Anaheim's Angel Stadium. The excitement of this event has riders, industry reps, press and staff displaying pink in support of this special event. Fans are encouraged to join the fight and wear something pink to the Anaheim event.
"We decided to join in the fight to end breast cancer because it affects so many of the women in our industry," said Dave Prater, director of supercross, Feld Motor Sports?. "As a community we wanted to make a difference to help fight the disease. Holding our event in February will help to raise awareness year round, not just during the month of October."
Breast cancer affects one in eight women in the U.S. and breast cancer knows no boundaries-be it age, gender, socio-economic status or, more broadly, the state of the economy. Monster Energy® Supercross fans recognize the need for continued support of charitable causes as both a broad effort and for personal reasons alike.
Working with Feld Motor Sports, Shasta Johnson will join thousands of other dedicated men and women for the San Diego Breast Cancer 3-Day to raise awareness and funds for the fight against breast cancer. The three-day, 60-mile walk benefiting Susan G. Komen for the Cure® requires months of physical and financial preparation, challenge and triumph.
"Monster Energy® Supercross fans have shown an unprecedented outpouring of support in my efforts to raise awareness and funds this year, encouraging me to continue in 2010," said Shasta Johnson. "It is very rewarding to know my commitment has brought so many people in our industry together in support of my team's bold efforts to raise funds to end breast cancer. The fans really are phenomenal."

(October 28, 2009) - Feld Motor SportsSM announced today Monster Energy® Supercross, an FIM World Championship, will partner with Komen For The Cure to host the first-ever breast cancer awareness race at Anaheim's Angel Stadium Saturday, February 13. Contributions will go to the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure 60-mile walk.
Monster Energy® Supercross will undergo a "pink" theme during its stop at Anaheim's Angel Stadium. The excitement of this event has riders, industry reps, press and staff displaying pink in support of this special event. Fans are encouraged to join the fight and wear something pink to the Anaheim event.
"We decided to join in the fight to end breast cancer because it affects so many of the women in our industry," said Dave Prater, director of supercross, Feld Motor Sports?. "As a community we wanted to make a difference to help fight the disease. Holding our event in February will help to raise awareness year round, not just during the month of October."
Breast cancer affects one in eight women in the U.S. and breast cancer knows no boundaries-be it age, gender, socio-economic status or, more broadly, the state of the economy. Monster Energy® Supercross fans recognize the need for continued support of charitable causes as both a broad effort and for personal reasons alike.
Working with Feld Motor Sports, Shasta Johnson will join thousands of other dedicated men and women for the San Diego Breast Cancer 3-Day to raise awareness and funds for the fight against breast cancer. The three-day, 60-mile walk benefiting Susan G. Komen for the Cure® requires months of physical and financial preparation, challenge and triumph.
"Monster Energy® Supercross fans have shown an unprecedented outpouring of support in my efforts to raise awareness and funds this year, encouraging me to continue in 2010," said Shasta Johnson. "It is very rewarding to know my commitment has brought so many people in our industry together in support of my team's bold efforts to raise funds to end breast cancer. The fans really are phenomenal."

2010 National Enduro Schedule Announced
Courtesy of AMA
PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) announced today the schedule for the 2010 AMA National Enduro Championship Series. In addition to welcoming many favorite venues back to the schedule, the 2010 season will take the championship to Maine for the first time in decades.
"This schedule has shaped up to be one of the best ever," said AMA Director of Racing Joe Bromley. "The National Enduro Promotions Group (NEPG) has worked hard the last few years to take this series to the next level, and we're looking forward to reaching even greater heights in 2010."
The National Enduro title was first awarded in 1923, and is one of the longest-running national motorsports championships in the world. The championship series features AMA Racing-sanctioned events and is one of the premier off-road racing series in the country, giving both amateur competitors and the country's fastest enduro racers a showcase for their talents.
One of the highlights for many racers this summer will be the return to the national schedule of the Jack Pine Enduro. The Jack Pine dates to the first year of the championship when the race crowned the first-ever national champion. Oscar Lenz won the title that year.
"With the Jack Pine once again being part of the national schedule, the return of the historic Alligator Enduro -- which will celebrate its 60th running this year -- and our trip to the challenging woods of the Northeast, we're looking forward to a special year in 2010," said the NEPG's Alan Randt. "We believe we've put together a program that offers our racers and fans variety, exposure and, of course, the challenging terrain and great riding that they demand."
Randt says that the NEPG will continue to hone some of the improvements it has introduced to the series the last two years, including electronic scoring.
"There are challenges in collecting scores from all the checks, some of which can be 20 miles out, and delivering final results in a timely manner," Randt says. "But with computer technology and cell phone coverage being what they are these days, typically if we have a strong enough signal we can provide nearly real-time scoring."
Randt says that other improvements for 2010 include a more consistent pro purse, and additional factory involvement.
This year's championship will begin on Jan. 31 in the Manchester State Forest near Wedgefield, S.C. The 10-round championship will wrap on Oct. 2 in Matthews, Ind. The full schedule is below. For updates, see AMARacing.com and NationalEnduro.com.

Yamaha Redirects Motorcycle Racing Efforts for 2010
Courtesy of Yamaha Motor Corp.
Cypress California - Yamaha Motor Corporation U.S. announced today that it will be re-directing both its Road Racing and Supercross / Motocross motorcycle racing efforts for the 2010 season.
For Supercross and Motocross, Yamaha partner L&M racing will continue to compete in the 450 class with defending AMA World Supercross Champion James Stewart aboard the all-new YZ450F.

For Road Racing, we will continue to partner with Championship-winning Graves Motorsports who will now assume additional responsibilities for Team Yamaha within the current AMA class structure.
This new direction for our racing efforts for the 2010 season has unfortunately resulted in the elimination of some internal race department positions at Yamaha’s Cypress headquarters.
Racing remains the true life blood and heritage of Yamaha Motor Company and it is with this spirit of challenge that we will continue to race and enable continuous improvement of our products and unparalleled fan enjoyment for years to come.

Shock Doctor/KTM rider Mike Brown earned his first career WORCS Championship in the Nevada desert after a hard fought battle with the series runner-up Ricky Dietrich.

"We tested quite a bit on Saturday and had a really good set up going into the race on Sunday," commented Brown's mechanic Andrew Langston. "We gauged Mike's speed based on last year's winner and felt very confident heading to the line Sunday afternoon."
Brown chose a far outside gate pick for the start of the race. "The gate did not drop within the first five seconds and that caught a lot of people off-guard when they held the gate longer," stated Brown whose reaction time off the start put him in 10th around the first corner. Dietrich also suffered from the long gate drop and got caught in the gate causing him to start in the tail end of the pack. Brown's Shock Doctor/KTM teammate Justin Soulè had a great start rounding the first turn within the top five.
While Soulè stayed out front quickly moving into the top three, Brown had moved up from 10th to 8th position by the end of the first lap while Brown's competitor for the title, Dietrich, sat in 14th. "I was riding really tight the first couple laps," said Brown. "I know with sand courses like this one, you can sometimes hurt the bike when you push it to its limits. I think with the championship on the line, I was almost being too cautious." Around the third lap, the 6th and 7th place riders pitted and allowed Brown to move into 6th place with Dietrich closing in. Dietrich managed to get around Brown after the pit dropping Brown to 7th place. A few corners later Brown hit a branch, injuring his nose and causing him to lose one more position. It was at this point that Brown saw the championship slipping and turned on the gas and began to charge forward.
"Mike took 20 seconds off his lap times on the last few laps. You could tell he was not playing it safe anymore and he was determined to charge through the pack and win the championship," commented Langston. Meanwhile, Dietrich had encountered a problem of his own and Brown passed by him while Dietrich was recovering from a crash. Brown went on to pick off a few more positions and eventually climbed to 5th place at the race end, securing his first WORCS Championship. Soulè also ended his season on a strong result finishing in 4th position and securing 3rd overall in the series.
"I am proud of both Shock Doctor/KTM riders today. A championship and a 3rd overall in the series are great results for the Shock Doctor/KTM team. Everyone worked really hard to get a strong finish at the end of the season and we hope to return next year and finish the same way," stated Shock Doctor/KTM Team Manager Antti Kallonen.

Red Bull/KTM's Taddy Blazusiak Clinches EnduroCross Championship Title
Courtesy of KTM
In the main event, Blazusiak nailed the $500 Girardi Wealth Management holeshot award, but did not escape the first lap without pressure. Christini/KTM rider Geoff Aaron managed to get around Blazusiak near the end of the first lap. Blazusiak quickly countered back by jumping over the finish line tire section only to collide with Aaron in the next corner. Blazusiak stayed up while Aaron hit the ground. Back out front, Blazusiak charged forward and took an easy win over the rest of the field to clinch the EnduroCross Championship one round early. Although Blazusiak holds the EnduroCross Title, there is still a $50,000 bonus for winning all three rounds of the Geico Triple Crown that can be his if he comes out on top at the final round. Be sure to join KTM and the KTM Ultimate Fan Experience at the final round of the EnduroCross Series in Las Vegas, NV on November 21, 2009. For tickets and more information on the KTM Ultimate Fan Experience Program please email endurocross@ktmusa.com. Taddy Blazusiak: "I think this was the best race of my life. It went better than I even hoped it would. From setting the fastest Hot Lap to winning my heat to getting the win in the main, just about everything went perfectly. It's a massive relief to have secured the title before the final in Vegas and I'm so pleased the championship's mine. Getting the holeshot in the main was exactly what I wanted to do. The track was pretty fast so it was important to be up front early on. I must have changed places with Geoff Aaron about three times during the first lap. I'd been jumping the tyre section all night, which Aaron hadn't, so I knew it was my chance to pass him. Unfortunately we came together and he went down. "Colton Haaker was riding really well and was with me for a few laps after that. I could see exactly where he was and just kept my own pace. The track was great fun, not too technical and quite fast. I'm so pleased that the championship's mine. The pressure is off now, which is great because I can really focus on the Indoor Enduro World Cup race this coming weekend now, as well as going to final round of the Endurocross championship in Vegas and just going for it. If I win there I'll get $50'000, which would be a great end to the series. The important thing is that I have the championship. I have to say a big thank you to all of my sponsors and my mechanic."

Leatt® Introduces New Brand Identity
New logo further establishes company’s dedication to safety
Valencia, Calif. (Oct. 23, 2009) – Leatt®, the company that invented the Leatt-Brace®, is evolving its brand and is showcasing a new logo. Headquartered in Cape Town, South Africa, Leatt is a market leader for design and safety in sports protection.
Dr. Leatt created the cutting edge product for which the company is now well-known; the Leatt-Brace®, after witnessing many crash related neck injuries that could have been prevented. Developed with the assistance of several physicians and biomedical engineers, Dr. Leatt’s brace is used by various motorcyclists, cyclists, water sports athletes, and kart and auto racers. The brace functions together with a quality full-face helmet and helps reduce neck forces in the event of a crash. Using Leatt’s® patented Alternate Load Path Technology™, the brace functions to bring the rider’s head to a controlled stop and channels the impact forces away from the neck.
“The new logo is another significant step in our progress as a company,” said Dr. Chris Leatt, founder and CEO of Leatt®. “We are excited about our future and are always looking at new and innovative ways to embrace the competitive riders and other customers who use our products. It is a totally new logo, but with the same brand dedication, quality and performance that has gained notoriety. Leatt® always strives for optimum performance engineering."
The Leatt-Brace® is worn by professional athletes worldwide, ranging from Mike Day, the Olympian BMX racer, to Ryan Dungey, the 2009 AMA Lucas Oil Outdoor Motocross series champion.
Formed from three letter L's, the new logo is crafted together to form a triangle, symbolizing the actual Leatt-Brace®, which at the same time, embraces the people who use it. Moving forward, the company’s product line will grow beyond its current reputation for being the one-stop-shop for neck braces. The new slogan, ‘Engineered for Performance,’ is prominently echoed in its appearance. Leatt® products are tough, well-made and durable, which is all housed under the appropriate new look. No safety device can protect from all injury, but an embraced rider’s safety is improved wearing Leatt®.
Starting with the 2010 product collection, consumers will see the new brand identity. Expect More, because competitors do, and so does Leatt®.

2010 ITP/Moose Racing AMA ATV Motocross Championship Schedule Announced

Morgantown, W.Va. (October 23, 2009) -- MX Sports Pro Racing, Inc., in conjunction with the ATVA, formally announced the 2010 schedule for the ITP/Moose Racing AMA ATV Motocross Championship Presented by Parts Unlimited. The 2010 series will kick off March 27-28 at Millcreek Raceway in Pell City, Ala. and conclude at Loretta Lynn Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tenn. August 14-15. New to the series is longtime AMA Pro Motocross Championship facility Spring Creek Motocross Park scheduled to host their first ATV national in Millville, Minn., June 12-13.
"We're excited to host our very first ATV Motocross National at Spring Creek," said seasoned AMA National Motocross promoter John Martin. "Minnesota and Wisconsin have an active community of quad participation, so once riders find out the top Pro and amateur riders are coming to town, it's going to draw an amazing group of local talent and fans."
Another addition to the schedule is an eleventh points-paying amateur round. Last year's season consisted of 10 amateur rounds and 11 pro rounds - the difference being the pro-only opening round in Glen Helen, San Bernardino, CA. For the first time in years, the tour will not open in California.
"Since 2004, Glen Helen Raceway has hosted the opening round of the Championship Series and we hope to return when the economy for our motorsports industry rebounds," said ATVPG Director, Sam Gammon.
With the addition of the 11th amateur round, the amateurs will have one more throw-away, i.e., the best 8 out of 11 races will count towards series championship points. All rounds will continue to count towards the Pro and Pro-Am class championships.

PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- AMA Racing's first champions of 2010 will be crowned next Jan. 23-24 following some of the most intense competition you'll find on two wheels: the 2010 AMA Racing Ice Race Grand Championships, taking place at the unforgettable Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort in Mount Pleasant, Mich.
"Last year was one of the best ever for the AMA Racing Ice Race Grand Championships, and we're looking forward to building on that success in 2010," said American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) Director of Racing Joe Bromley. "As we see every year, while the racers always have tough competition in each other, they also battle the extreme winter weather that always provides an extra challenge for both competitor and machinery."
The AMA Racing Ice Race Grand Championships, which are promoted by Baja Acres MX, feature riders from 4 years old to 50-plus competing on bikes that range from lightly modified off-road machines to full-on, purpose-built ice racers. Riders will battle for AMA Racing National No. 1 plates in a number of classes.
"We are very excited to be hosting the 2010 AMA Racing Ice Race Grand Championships for the second year in a row at the beautiful Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort in Mount Pleasant, Mich.," said Baja Acres MX's Patrick Grzebinski.
The top riders at the event also will compete for the AMA Racing Ice Racer of the Year award, given to the most impressive rider on the ice, while the youth riders will chase the honor of AMA Racing Youth Rider of the Year.
The venue will also provide some highlights for competitors, family and fans. The Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort is a major winter destination, with seasonal activities that will keep everyone occupied between races. Soaring Eagle's facilities include a neighboring field of 100 acres and an impressive snow hill. The hotel includes more than 500 rooms and suites, fine dinning and buffets, a massive gaming area, and "Kid Quest" child care, in addition to other amenities.

KTM’s Taddy Blazusiak clinches 2009 Geico Powersports EnduroCross Championship with a win in Denver
A win at the Vegas final could earn Blazusiak a $50,000 bonus for winning all three rounds of the Geico Triple Crown
Photos by: Tony Scavo
DENVER, CO (October 24, 2009) – Taddy Blazusiak has proven to be tough to beat in the 2009 Geico EnduroCross series presented by E3 Spark Plugs and tonight, he survived an early battle with Geoff Aaron and race long pressure from Lucas Oil backed Colton Haaker to take the win. Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Damon Huffman rounded out the podium.
Blazusiak, arguably the world’s top “Extreme Enduro” rider in the world right now started the day by setting the fastest lap time during the afternoon qualifying session, which puts the riders on the track by themselves for a single hot lap to determine heat race starting positions. Zip Ty – Husquvarna’s Cory Graffunder had set a seemingly unbeatable 1:08.163 lap time after Blazusiak predicted a 1:10 would be the fasted time possible. Then Blazusiak pulled off a 1:07.117 to take the top spot. Geoff Aaron proved that he has indeed been improving his speed by setting the third fastest time with a 1:08.650.
Blazusiak collected the $500 Girardi Wealth Management holeshot award and it seemed that he may have an easy race until Aaron went past at the end of the first lap. Blazusiak then made an aggressive pass by jumping over the finish line tire section and colliding with Aaron in the next corner. Aaron unfortunately hit the ground and with that, the only rider with a chance to beat Blazusiak in the championship was a long way back. Lucas Oil / Kawasaki backed Colton Haaker and Husqvarna’s Graffunder battled over second for a few laps before Haaker took control of the spot. He managed to keep Blazusiak honest until closing stages of the main event. Huffman worked his way up from a sixth place start to take the final spot on the podium and Aaron charged b to the finish and took forth by passing FMF / Am-Pro Yamaha’s Kyle Redmond through the final obstacle just in front of the finish line.
Blazusiak clinched the 2009 Geico Powersports EnduroCross championship by opening up an insurmountable 36 point lead over Geoff Aaron. Huffman holds a scant one point lead for third over Colton Haaker. Haaker took over the points lead in the chase for the E3 Spark Plugs’ EnduroCross Pro Junior Championship, the series within a series that allows riders aged 16-21 to compete for an AMA number one plate. Husqvarna’s Cory Graffunder came into the Denver round with a narrow three point lead but finished ninth tonight and now finds himself ten points behind.
Blazusiak now has a chance to win the $50,000 Geico Powersports Triple Crown bonus if he can close the season with a win at the Vegas final on November 21st. Ironically, it was Blazusiak that passed the Isle of Man’s David Knight at the 2007 Las Vegas final to keep him from winning the $50,000. You can bet that there will be several riders on hand to do the same to Blazusiak and Knight himself has even said that he may be there to do so.
